I was there since the Dutch debut of the anime series. It was on a lousy August in the waning days of the Summer holidays in 1999 that I sat in front of one of those giant tube TVs with my legs crossed, my head cocked back, my mouth agape, and two eyes that could not remove their gaze from the telly. I remember playing the gen I games on a gameboy, and then a gameboy colour. I remember that I played pokémon yellow along with my brother, and squeed with joy at the Pikachu following me everywhere I went. I was 4 years old when my adventure began, and I've had ups and downs with the series, but I always got back to it, because it was right.

"And they tell me there are people who are normal, but I don't know what they look like because I've never met one. And neither have you, so why not compare yourself to real people instead?"
"Three lives of a gamer: the first'll be your best, because you can always restart if it isn't; the second pales in comparison, and the game will cheat you out; but the third one's going to be better, because it gets do or die from then."

I got into Pokemon during gen 1, and got my first game, Silver, after gen 2 came out. Gen 1 times were amazing, honestly I think I'd appreciate all the merchandise and food items and stuff now more than I did back then!

Well, my first games were Blue and Yellow. Good, good times where I couldn't get past Brock in Yellow or Misty in Blue (chose Squirtle). I later earned Red Version for acing Kindergarten, but I couldn't get past Brock again (chose Charmander). I would come to rectify all of this years later, but back then it was a struggle...
Then there was Gold and Silver, the former I barely played, and the latter I plowed through with just my Meganium. Beat the Elite 4 with it at Lvl. 79, no ducks were given that year.

Sapphire was when I became all for serious and got my stuffing together. The rest, as they say, is historical nonsense.
I've been here since Gen 1, but Gen 3 was what forever stole my soul...in the Shadow Realm.

Generation one, back in 98. It was cool loving Pokemon back then, all of the merchandise, your Mac and cheese was shaped like pikachu, everything. First finding out about the "truck glitch", using Missingno to have ultimate pokemon was a blast. Gameplay wise, it's no where close to being the best, but it was the foundation of the greatest gaming series ever.

I grew up watching the gen 1 anime but my first game was pokemon silver though i guess it might not count as i never got any further then ilex forest because i couldnt save. The first pokemon game that i nearly beat was colloseum however the game broke before i actually could finish it. I have never actually beat it since it broke and because i also dont have gamecube anymore. I plan to finish it some time though.

Generation I - I never gotten into Pokemon myself up until playing Super Smash Bros while playing as Jigglypuff. I started playing Pokemon Snap while renting and owning. While I was in 3rd Grade, I got Pokemon Yellow along with a Green Gameboy Color which didn't work later on. Me and my brothers were game hopping (and by game hopping, I mean switching games.)
